Jason started on the internet with a 28.8k modem and an expensive $5/hr account at OzEmail ISP (now pwned by iiNet).

He’s been a member of the Efnet IRC community since joining the Internet and has rarely been offline. As of 2006 he hardly goes on IRC at all, mostly living on Twitter and on Facebook.

Programming is one of his loves and he prides himself in having done some programming in many languages (some you may call scripting) such as: C, Perl, PHP, Bash among others. He wrote a popular game called “Quirl” for the Palm OS. Later, an updated version named “Quirl:Christmas Edition” was created, using the same gameplay but with Christmas graphics and sound effects along with a Christmas tune in the background.

In the 2000s, he dabbled in PHP from time to time and has written a plugin for the blog application WordPress. The plugin is called “RndImgDisplayer” and displays random images in the WordPress sidebar, automatically calculating width, height and supplying an Alt tag (or alternatively, for Firefox plain text under the image).

He also wrote an Arkanoid clone for the VZ200/VZ300 computers called “Arkaball” in Small C.
